A journey into an infinite dimension

Walking onto the balcony, Jia Ye looked up at the starry sky above his head and quietly counted what he had to do next.

"The main quest will still take some time to complete, but it's almost there. Side quest 1 will automatically complete once Shiori seals all the spirits. Side quest 2 has already been completed independently by Shiori. 3 and 4 should be completed soon. It seems like our time in this world is almost up."

"We can implement the plan once everything is done. We still have about a day and a half to experience it, which should be enough."

If your experience time is up, then summon an Ancient God with a time-related ability. If you use the Book of Azathoth to summon, the level of the summoned creature will be counted towards the level of the Book of Azathoth itself, so it won't affect the quest.

Ge Jiuye suggested.

[But the other party may not necessarily obey my orders, right? ]

Although this method is good, Jiaye doesn't want to summon trouble.

[Although Yela says he has a good temper, in reality, gods all have their own pride and will not easily comply with contracts with others.]

Shrugging, Ge Jiuye reminded.

[Yera, however, readily accepted your contract. Add to that the seamless feeling between you and Him, and your physique capable of bearing His power 100%, haven't you realized it yet, Jiaye?]

[I have some kind of inextricable connection with this mythical pantheon, eh?]

Hearing this, Jia Ye fell silent.

My own identity is really full of mysteries.

Whether it is the completely unknown past life or this life.

Although this mystery is probably harmless, and perhaps if left alone, everything will be revealed sooner or later, this is not absolute.

If it is harmful, how will he deal with it when he is completely unprepared?

He didn't like the feeling of being unprepared.

However, in order to make corresponding preparations, one needs to know all the truth, but according to Ge Jiuye, the time has not yet come.

Because he is still too weak.

[Then, if time really doesn't allow, try summoning a helper.]

Shaking his head and stopping thinking about these things, Jia Ye exhaled lightly and closed his eyes.

“———<Zaphkiel>———”

As Jia Ye called softly, a huge golden Roman numeral clock slowly emerged from the virtual world behind him, followed by ancient rifles and pistols that looked like the hands of a clock.

Yud Aleph

Pointing the gun at his forehead, Jia Ye slowly opened his left eye, which turned into a pair of heterochromatic eyes with a golden clock pattern, and then pulled the trigger with his index finger.

boom!

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire close at hand, the next moment, in the strange memories that surged like memories, Jia Ye arrived at the future relative to the past.

boom! ! !

After a thousandth of a second of trance, Jia Ye, whose consciousness had recovered in all aspects, heard the noise coming from all around, faintly mixed with explosions.

Through a consciousness beyond the scope of human beings, Jiaye digested all his memories in an instant and quickly understood what was happening at the moment.

"Gaya, danger!!"

At the same moment, Mayuri's exclamation was heard, and then Jiaye caught a glimpse of the black light coming from above his head and a figure rushing over from the side.

Ding---

The colorful light condensed into a real long sword in his hand. Jiaye swung the sword and slashed a sharp sword energy towards the sky, then hugged Mayuri who wanted to rush over to block him and quickly left the place.

The next moment, the sword energy came into contact with the pitch-black laser, and like a chemical reaction, a violent explosion occurred, stirring up a strong impact and strong wind.

"Next time, don't try to block my attacks so casually. Do you think it's okay if I don't get hurt and you get hurt?"

He gently put Mayuri down, then flicked his finger at her forehead and lectured her in a bad mood.

"Who told you not to react when the attack landed?"

Mayuri retorted, covering her forehead.

"Well, it's my fault."

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Jia Ye turned around to look at the scenery behind him, and couldn't help feeling a little stomachache.

Reflected in his eyes, surrounded by numerous pitch-black "feathers", a silver-haired girl in a black and purple dress swaying gently in the wind, as if wearing mourning clothes, stood in the void with lifeless eyes. A large number of pitch-black lasers were continuously released from those feather-like floating cannons that acted like guardians, suppressing everything with powerful firepower.

Around the girl, spirits such as Tohka, who had manifested limited spiritual outfits and angels, and Shiori, who had manifested the 'Plasma Integrated Armament', were trying hard to close the distance with the girl, but they were all blocked by the 'feather' attacks and could not advance an inch.

Although, with the power that Shizhi possessed now, she could easily defeat all obstacles, but she couldn't let go because she didn't want to hurt the girl.

Because the other party is origami.

Or it could be Origami who turned into an elf and then fell into a reversed state.

The memory did not record the reason why this happened, but only explained that Origami suddenly appeared on the way to Shiori and Tohka's date, and was in a reversed state from the beginning.

However, Origami seemed to be in an unconscious state at the moment. No matter how Shiori and others called out to her, she did not respond. Moreover, all her attacks were indiscriminate bombardments without a target or aim when no one was approaching.

[Gaya, her expression is the expression of someone who has experienced a huge blow and is in a state of mental breakdown.]

Ge Jiuye reminded softly.

[Ge Jiuye, among the possibilities you've seen, are there any related situations?]

Without knowing the situation, it is impossible to make a correct response. Fortunately, Jia Ye has a helper like Ge Jiuye who is at the level of an outsider.

【Yep. 】

And Ge Jiuye lived up to expectations and provided crucial information.

Origami Tobiichi, having developed feelings for the elves after spending so long with them, felt deeply lost and ultimately decided to use the power of the DEM Society to end her relationship with the elves. After being defeated, she met Origami and was gifted with a spirit crystal, transforming into an elf. Later, with the power of Kurumi Tokisaki, she traveled back five years to try to undo the tragedy that befell her parents.

[However, in the process, she discovered that the one who actually killed her parents was herself who had returned from five years ago, and she fell into a reversal due to extreme despair.]

Although DEM no longer exists in this world line, Origami Tobiichi's situation is likely to be a reversal, perhaps because she has learned the truth.

Listening to Ge Jiuye's story, Jiaye suddenly felt even more stomachache.

This kind of development really makes me hard to say.

And judging from the situation, if Origami wants to recover from this state, it is definitely not possible to rely solely on sealing the spiritual power.

Five years ago... Never mind, just do it.

Chapter 223: I will use my time power to create a happy ending and make them regret it for the rest of their lives!

"Origami! Origami, wake up, it's me!"

In the air, dodging the pitch-black lasers once again, Shiori called out Origami's name loudly, trying to wake her up.

She had already seen that Origami had no will of her own at the moment, and that was why she wanted to wake Origami up.

Although we don’t know what happened to Origami, if we let her continue, the city will be destroyed!

call out---

However, despite Shiori's call, Origami's state remained unchanged. The Angel of Light's reversed posture and the Demon King of Light's attacks continued to bombard everything around them, causing the city to be engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

If this continues──I'm sorry, Origami.

Having decided to apologize to Origami later, Shiori's eyes flickered with flames, and the integrated particle weapon on her left hand also lit up with a dazzling light.

"Incomplete knowledge (Da'at) shaping, integrating sephirah, changing form - filling in true name——"

“———〈O God, prostrate yourself here (Enkidu)〉———”

A large number of golden ripples opened up in the void around Origami, and then countless chains quickly emerged from them. They nimbly bypassed the attacking lasers like a group of snakes, quickly wrapping around the defenseless Origami and binding her tightly in mid-air.

In an instant, all of them stopped attacking as if they had lost their energy, and at the same time, the fluctuations of Origami's spiritual energy were suppressed to almost zero.

However, even when being treated like this, Origami's expression did not change at all, and he was so numb that it was heartbreaking.

"Shiori, what should we do next?"

Seeing that the battle had finally come to an end, Tohka and the others returned to Shiori's side, and together with her, they looked worriedly at Origami who was bound by Enkidu.

"I do not know either."

Shaking his head, Shizhi couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw Origami like this.

Origami, what happened to you? Why did you become like this?

"Shiori."

Appearing quietly beside Shiori with Mayuri, Jiaye nodded and greeted the elves, then called out to Shiori.

"Gaya?"

Coming back to his senses, Shizhi looked at Jiaye, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

By the way, if it was Jia Ye, maybe he would have some idea?

Although Shiori's reason told her that the possibility of this happening was extremely small, her sensibility made her unconsciously regard Kaya as an omnipotent being.

"Gaya, do you know any way to wake Origami up?"

And in response to Shiori's expectations and trust, Jiaye did not disappoint him at all.

"There's a way we can try. Do you want to join us?"

Nodding, Jiaye gently extended his hand towards Shiori.

"Of course!"

Shiori shook the hand he extended without hesitation and nodded heavily.

"Well, at times like this, I should probably say 'I'm back'."

Taking off the infinite headphones hanging around his neck and putting them on Shiori instead, Jiaye smiled slightly.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, his figure suddenly showed signs of disappearing, and finally completely disintegrated into countless stars and dissipated.

At the same time, a long-lost sense of security also emerged in Shizhi's perception as if it had been rekindled from the ashes, just like a fish that had left the water and returned to the water.

This feeling should be as natural as breathing to humans, but she once lost it.

But now, this feeling came back to her again, and the indescribable mood almost made her cry.

【Jiaye, welcome back————】

【Well, I'm back, Shiori. 】

A figure that no one except Shiori could see quietly appeared beside Shiori. Jiaye reached out and gently touched her head and said.

【Leave it to me next.】

As soon as she finished speaking, without Shiori resisting, Jiaye took control of her body from her hands.

But in the outside world, in the eyes of Tohka and others, Shiori's temperament changed drastically in just a blink of an eye after Kaya disappeared.

This change is very familiar to Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino, Shiona, Nanasin and others who first met Shiori, but it is the first time for others.

"Well, I'll be back soon."

He waved his hand to summon them, then pointed the gun at his forehead. Shi Ye whispered something to a few people and then pulled the trigger.

"Yud Bet"

A clear and long gunshot rang out, and the next moment, time began to reverse.

......

......

When Shiye came back to her senses from the trance brought on by the "Yud Aleph", what she saw was no longer the Tiangong City surrounded by a sea of ​​fire, but a more peaceful and tranquil city.

Although it looked like this place was exactly the same as Tengu City before it was destroyed by Origami, both Shiye and Shizhi, whose figure appeared beside her, could feel that the place they were in at the moment had a much more nostalgic and retro atmosphere than the previous Tengu City.

This is a feeling built up by many subtle differences, and it is also proof that they have successfully returned to the past.

【————Wait, Jiaye, why do you have it? 】

After receiving 'all' the memories that Shizhi shared with her during this period, and also understanding the era they were in at the moment, Shizhi suddenly realized something.

[I copied it from Kurumi using some method.]

Shi Ye said nonsense casually.

She didn't know what reason to use to justify this matter, so she could only use this explanation temporarily.
